"Fundays tickets will go on sale on

$120 (plus fees) per ticket

Please read our policies ahead of time so you aren't faced with any surprises when you go to purchase your tickets or arrive at the event!

It's that time again! This year promises to be bigger and better with more entertainment than ever. You'll spend the evening at the Grand Hyatt Manchester in lovely San Diego with your fellow funatics, Funko employees and special guests. Everyone will be enjoying food, drinks and a full evening of entertainment hosted by Funko's very own Brian Mariotti and Mike Becker. There will be prizes galore, contests, corn, and a whole lot more. And, of course, every attendee receives a legendary Funko "Box O' Fun" just for being part of this annual event. Each attendee also receives two drink tickets, heavy appetizers and enough memories to last three lifetimes.

Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, June 1st at 12 noon Pacific Time. Be ready - tickets will go fast!

Doors will open at 6pm and the evening's entertainment starts at 8pm. In an effort to allow as many different people to attend as possible, there is a limit of TWO (2) tickets per customer. You must register the names for each ticket holder. Only ONE "Box O' Fun" will be given to each attendee. One ticket, one attendee, one box! Repeated for emphasis: one person cannot redeem multiple tickets for multiple boxes of fun!

 

FAQs

 

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

No. While we do not recommend this event for small children, children are welcome. However, every attendee will require a ticket, regardless of age.

 

Is my registration/ticket transferable?

No. Any attempts at transferring tickets will result in cancellation of said ticket.

 

Why is the limit only 2 tickets per customer?

Our ticketing limitations are designed in order to allow as many different people to attend Fundays as possible. We want to make sure we spread the tickets out and don't want people purchasing blocks of tickets. We reserve the right to cancel any attempts to purchase more than 2.

 

Why is the policy only ONE box of Box of Fun per customer?

We don't want people to purchase multiple tickets just to collect multiple boxes. Instead, we want those tickets to go to other fans that would like to attend the event. The idea is to come to the event and experience Fundays together - not just collect the free stuff!

 

Can I update my registration information?

Yes.

 

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, but we recommend it.

 

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

Yes, but you can only redeem ONE ticket per customer. If you have multiple tickets, you will not receive multiple boxes of fun. Only ONE Box of Fun will be given to each ticket-holder.

 

See you there!"

I have a question. Last year I saw the ticket sales notification too late for Fundays.
The tickets had names on them. Did anyone capture the sequence of screens for how to check out, like a step by step walkthrough?
I just want to know exactly what to do in advance to make my checkout go quickly.
Thx

Theya re using eventbrite, just go check another set of their sales pages.  They will likely be the same.

So who is all nervous for tomorrow?  This is my first year trying to go.  Hopefully the tickets last an hour or so like last year did!

They won't since they announced in advanced the sale date last year there was very short notice.  That said, it's not going to make or break anyone's con and if it does that's pretty unfortunate and any singular event shouldn't determine your experience.

I'm nervous and I'm just helping a friend  :D!  I wouldn't count on tickets lasting an hour, get there right at the sale start time.  Better safe than sorry.

If you haven't already done so, make an Eventbrite account. It will save you time at checkout.

I know I can't believe it is tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have arranged to combine my lunch and break starting at 11:50, my son will be at home ready, Kurt's gf Alana is participating from her house; unfortunately, Jordan will be at work and Lexi will be at school, but I am trying to be positive. I'm just hoping not to get shut out.
